Countdown to Canal

I've had this ridiculous two-month-long craving for a dish that sounds both absurdly pricey and really damn tasty: Canal's 30 Dollar Sandwich. Since I first blogged about it, it's been embellished with watercress and avocado as well.

Well, I only have to hold out one more week, because Canal, the newest eatery to bust out on the world at Fred Unger's stylish SouthBridge development, is set to open on October 16. (Yeah, you might be sick of hearing about SouthBridge by now, but get used to it -- the place is only going to get more attention over the next several months, especially in the way of restaurants.)

Chef Justin Beckett's finalized dinner menu just came out this morning, and, as usual, I'm making myself hungry just looking at it. (There will be lunch service as well, starting October 30.)
